Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The overall aim of this protocol is to examine patient and care-giver outcomes and acceptance of a new 6 week intervention in Arizona for our transplant and cancer patients and their care-givers, designed to improve quality of life, decrease perceived stress, and improve medical outcomes, that has been approved as a pilot clinical program at Mayo Clinic in Arizona.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Transplant medicine and cancer are major strategic foci of Mayo Clinic. At Mayo Clinic, we are often challenged to respond adequately to the high levels of stress encountered by our transplant patients and their care-givers. The overall aim of this project is to pilot a 6 session intervention in Arizona for our transplant and cancer patients and their care-givers, designed to improve quality of life, decrease perceived stress, and improve medical outcomes. Demonstration of a feasible and effective program will allow us to offer similar programs at all three sites. This program has potential to better meet our transplant patients' needs, improve outcomes, and set us apart from other transplant programs who do not offer this intervention for patients and caregivers. Psychiatry already has a good collaboration with transplant medicine, with psychiatry screening transplant patients and following a large subset of patients. Many of the referrals to psychiatry post-transplant have to do with difficulty managing stress or break-down in care-giver support. The proposed program would address this unmet need with a more comprehensive intervention than is currently available at the Mayo Clinic. The role of this pilot program is to:

* Explore the feasibility of routinely offering a resilience intervention involving mindfulness based stress reduction to our solid organ and stem-cell transplant and cancer patients and their care-givers.
* Pilot a mindfulness-based group treatment for stress reduction to assess its impact, using standardized rating tools, on transplant patient stress-levels, sleep quality, anxiety, depression, medical outcomes, and health-care utilization
* Examine patient and care-giver acceptance/adherence and satisfaction
* Understand the resources both in terms of staffing and fees required to offer this as a clinical program in the future
* Explore the reimbursement options for covering the program's expenses.
